ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Visual language

Visual language is the way we communicate ideas, feelings, and information through pictures, symbols, and colors. It's like having a secret code that we can all understand without using words! Just like how we use the letters of the alphabet to create words and sentences, we use shapes, images, and colors to create meaning in visual language.

Imagine you are trying to explain to someone how to put together a toy. Instead of writing down instructions, you might draw a picture of each step. That's how visual language works - we can use pictures to tell a story or give instructions.

Visual language is also used in things like logos, advertisements, and signs. A company might choose a certain color or image to represent their brand and make it recognizable to people. A stop sign uses the color red and the word "STOP" to communicate something important (to stop your car!).

Overall, visual language helps us communicate in a way that reaches beyond words and can be understood by people from all different backgrounds and languages.
